Worked in the round from the bottom up, this tunic dress has a simple geometric pattern of diamonds and triangles, worked using the stranded colourwork technique. It would be a good project for knitters looking to practise and improve their Fair Isle technique. Rowan’s Felted Tweed is a perfect yarn for this – it lends itself to colour work and produces a soft, even fabric.
